The HYbrid4 combines the fuel efficient 2.0 litre HDi 163 bhp diesel engine and a 37 bhp electric motor – an ideal combination for a hybrid vehicle as it provides excellent out of town fuel consumption of 74.4 mpg, and CO2 emissions of 99g/km on the Combined Drive Cycle.
Should you get one? Well, in theory a diesel hybrid is the best combination as you get the natural economy of a diesel mated to an electric motor. However, you get added weight with both motor types. However, you can’t argue with the sense that zero road tax offers and the exceptional figure of 74 mpg.
By choosing the Limited Edition Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 owners will benefit from being the first with this unique driving experience, with an enhanced specification.
The Limited Edition version has distinctive features from the 3008 HYbrid4 range that include special style items, all designed to emphasise the unique nature of the vehicle and its technological features. Externally, this includes dark tinted headlamps with integral chrome LED daylight running lights, a special Pearl White exterior body colour and chrome door handles.
Internally, the exclusive touches are the special two-tone leather trim, a fascia completely covered in leather and a numbered aluminium plate on the centre console. Guérande-coloured overstitching features on the door trim panels, central arm rest and the fascia, and a special leather steering wheel with aluminium detailing. A full length Cielo panoramic glass roof and front parking sensors complete the extensive high-level specification.
The Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 range starts with a £26,600 model, with CO2 emissions of just 99 g/km and deliveries commence for the UK market in November 2011.
The price for the special Limited Edition Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 is £29,995 and exclusive UK customer deliveries start in October.
So, is it worth a look? The spec is good and in light of today’s current climate of 130p per litre for petrol and 137p per litre for diesel, I’d definitely say so. Peugeot are making some excellent cars at the moment and this sort of economy makes sense without scrimping on interior space or interior quality.
